­­@Toastcrumbs, try updating to version 2.0.7.8. I can see your custom avatar running the latest version.

I must apologise though, custom avatars are going through allot of changes and I still haven't got it the way I want as yet.

^ Exactly, and that's currently a possible use for the import/export feature until I write a profile toggle. The only difference is I need to make the profile toggle use local storage rather than browsing to a file.­
Ahh cool, I imagine anything saved locally will only be small in size?

Yep. I have 5 MB to play with. If I need to exceed that then RS-Linkify will have to request permission from the user. But 5 MB is actually quite a bit when it comes to storing data as text.

To put into perspective, All of RS-Linkify's files, code + images (there must be over 50 images mostly small though) combined is around 14 times less than that.

My settings take up around 8 KB of local storage. I could increase that by x500 and still not use the 5MB quota.

So it's not so much a storage space issue, it's more of a management issue. Efficiently retrieving the right data is what it's all about.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ­­­­More Avatar Changes­­­­ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


­­I'm guessing most of you who use custom avatars have been aware that I've been working on changing the system. Well I'm finally at point where I have a permanent method for custom avatars.

I was hoping to do away with the QFC and I have had some success with this. But it's not perfect, so I've decided to combine the best parts of current experimental method with the best parts of the original system.


The Changes

- Custom avatars will now only require a five digit number saved in your settings.

- Your avatar code will be embedded into your post when you click submit/preview

- The embedded code will be a shortened version of the original QFC.

- Your character limit will be reduced by the size of the code, so when submitting there will always be room for your code to be auto embedded.

- RS-Linkify will convert your stored QFC code to a five digit number for you.

- The system will be backwards compatible with old codes (for a while).

I think that covers the basics of the changes. I've tried to make it as seamless as possible. I'm pretty sure you won't have to do a thing. This is mainly a heads up since the changes will be visible and some will no doubt be wondering what's going on.

These changes take effect as of now version 2.0.7.9

A big warm welcome back!

Oh and Keighlea passed on your bug report :)


Edit: @Blasty I'll take a look right now :)

Hmmm I need to look at this a bit more.

Edit: Oh wait sorry in preview, I need to try again.


Okay for now nope. But this won't be permanent. The reason it reverts to your saved code is because of backwards compatibility.

Basically the QFC that was being used will expire when my old thread gets pushed off page 50. But there are people using this code currently (until they get this latest update). This method means that if anyone edits older posts or does text selection quoting from older posts the avatar codes are updated to the new code. That way they won't break when the QFC has expired or is no longer in use.

I was going to remove the routine that does this when the QFC code expires.

This is thread I'm referring to 259-260-705-65138716

It's currently on page 19 so I'll most likely get rid of the routine before it gets eaten by the page 51 monster.

It also means if people what update older/existing posts with the new avatar code all they need to do is click edit and then click update message. When things have settled I'll remove the code that does this.

Hope that makes sense as to why it I have done this, it's temporary though :)
